Burger Chain Closes Restaurant Over Video of Rat Being Cooked on Grill

A burger restaurant in Honolulu, Hawaii, has been forced to close its doors temporarily after two employees posted a video showing them cooking a rat on the grill. Teddy’s Bigger Burgers announced that one of their locations was closed and the two employees were fired after the video appeared on Snapchat.

“We are horrified that a former teenage employee would conduct themselves in that way and make such a video of which we are investigating its authenticity,” said Richard Stula, the president of Teddy’s Bigger Burgers. A “complete sanitization” of the location has been initiated and all equipment and utensils at the restaurant will be replaced, the company said.
